If you want to appeal to everyone, you can't do a world tour and expect black people to show up at every date - when you're in Australia, when you're in Dubai, when you're in Indonesia.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
On YouTube you can tell what countries are watching and I've definitely noted a strong Australian following. You can plan your tours around where the love is on Twitter and YouTube - before, you couldn't tell.
Black audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.
Hollywood is the place to be for actors - and there's just a big rush when an Australian comes over just because there's less of them. I guess that's just how it is. Like if you pick a pink jellybean out of a jar of green ones it'd be amazing, but if you pick a green one, no one will care.
The first time I ever saw a black audience at our concert, we were in Zimbabwe.
Melbourne is very sophisticated and edgy - we wear a lot of black. Things are lightening up a little bit, but truly, everything looks good in black.
I believe that when it comes to major foreign policy issues, many prefer to have black people seen and not heard.
Australia turns out to be a sensational place, albeit one of the most comfortably racist places I've ever been in. They've really settled into their intolerance like an old resentful slipper.
Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.
I don't want to have people brought in simply because they are black or Asian.
I want to tour, everywhere I can, all of the world.
